Ai is coming back to ABC instead of Fox

Who would have guessed that pilot season's hottest project would be American Idol.
ABC is near a deal with FremantleMedia, Idol's producers, to bring the long-running Fox singing competition back to TV, according to Variety. The revived Idol will reportedly be slotted into ABC's schedules in March on Sunday night, a place where the network has struggled in recent years. (However, Variety's report also mentions ABC's desire to use Idol to compete with NBC's Sunday Night Football. The NFL season ends in early February.) The show's return is expected to be announced during ABC's upfront presentation on May 16.
